The Reamix

Reason. Ootz. 15 Grand Remix. HERE.

Mr 15 Stacks

Look who's taken a page out of the J. Cole school of songs? All teasing aside, Reason's newest joint that sees him, ahem, singing his chorus, is really dope. Produced by Ootz, 15 Grand is all Reason says he needs to feed his seed, get his cheese and get his dreams. Like Cole, Reason taps into the side of him that brings him down to the truimphs and trials of the ordinary joe's level and makes him relatable. In case you hadn't figured it out by now, Reason is also the newest signee to Tumi Molekane's Motif Records label. To prove the deal has been sealed, T From The V jumps on to the end of this joint over The Clipse's Popeyes (Popular Demand) instrumental. However, the real star of the show is Reason on 15 Grand. theblagg is really stoked about this joint. What do you think?

Podcast Put On

An exchange between The Ordinary Girl and "Vaal Triangular Son, To Be Particular" originator X-Rate on an early April morning.

The Ordinary Girl: What is the Nauts and Crosses Podcast II? Do you and producer, Ootz, present or just rap?
X-Rate: It's really songs that didn't make the album [that Ootz and I are working on]. We are just showcasing our work on this podcast...yameen?
T.O.G: So how does it work? Are the songs just played non stop or is the podcast in radio format with breaks in between songs?
X: Well...it's a medley of songs so how it works is that, basically, you can't skip a track because all the songs are presented as one mp3. So you just play the mp3 and you'll find about 14 tracks on it.
T.O.G: What exactly is on the podcast?
X: Those are songs we did just nje! Plus some of the older songs we did in our individual capacity just to show what we do. We feature Zubz, Battlekat, pH, Nthabi, Reason, Eli and more.
T.O.G: The podcast is great but when can we expect a X-Rate and Ootz album?
X: Sooner than soon. Its finished its just admin now...

Uh-huh, we've heard that one before. Download Nauts and Crosses Podcast II for FREE here and here.

And yes, although we know what Brotha X was saying theblagg cannot advocate the use of "yameen" in public or around small animals.
